there's this avenue which goes from 0 to a number big as 1175. it's a simple 2-way street and there isn't much trees around. more than 10 years ago it barely had a decent pedestrian walk. on this avenue, near it's end, there's a small hill, nothing too big but i guess going fast as a sport-car fast may get you flying a bit. this woman was driving fast enough on it to the point, considering it was raining, that if a dog, a child or an adult was passing to the other side, the result wouldn't look good. this people get me into the nerves. the neighbor is completely residential near that hill. never saw vehicle traffic there. i started to wonder about surveillance
last bus stop before the hill i saw the woman speeding (wasn't take on the same day of the event)
wouldn't be good to have radars everywhere. how can we monitor disrespectful drivers. maybe surveillance on vehicle's chips? cameras are no good after all. i don't want to be watched, even though i'm the perfect demographic that would benefit from total security. remember, Brazil is violent and dangerous. i don't feel at ease going out 2 am. into the historical center to shoot long-exposure photos with my DIY camera. despite the last time i got robbed, more than 10 years ago, i managed to get a cigarette of the thief by making jokes. i had my ID in case the police stopped me (never happened) and the exact 3,70 brl for paying the bus passage back to my parents. i was crossing a square late at night. a school friend was playing jazz at a bar. i don't like surveillance. who knows if the public institute that take care of public parks won't install a small unit on the back entrance of my favorite park (then i'll never be able to camp illegally) - it has been more than 4 years since i bought cannabis on the nearby ghetto. despite cannabis being decriminalized some time ago. no police can find a reason to stop me. now imagine if the government started to charge carbon taxes on vehicles, permits to drive on the central region, permits to park on these central regions, fees to cover the proper recycling of batteries of electric vehicles and even permits to use any highway! soon the money collected would start putting busses as the definitive way of moving around a city. soon they would start caring about micro-plastic of tires (which is actually one of the worst consequences of so many personal vehicles) and noise and pollution (it's estimated millions of people are effected negatively by it). soon they started to dig tunnels and mind you! it isn't cheap, so that's why the total area of streets on cities were converted in decent buildings, state owned to avoid private real estate speculation and gentrification. it takes less than half of a 2-way street to start a bicycle and pedestrian path. this time among vegetation that absorbs and evaporate rain, fruit trees here and there and jobs to the homeless (harvesting fruits, trimming trees and cleaning residue of rotten fruits fallen onto the ground is a job). the city got more compact and by the amount of tall buildings trying to get the maximum of each space (it's already bad in some places) people started to complain about the lack of the sun. yes. cities should be destroyed
i arrived at the building to swim. my jacket starts to lose it's water-proof capability. there's no Johanne. Giovanna. Mariana. Ollie. Flip. Backflip. Trad. Climbing. Free. you name it! but we already have dust particles upon impact and terrain marks on snow or sandy terrain by bot's footsteps and vehicles wheels (with proper width calculus)
